Legends of Savvarah: Flowers and Scorpions

Came for the promise of kissing the girl. Stayed for the cool setting, branching story, and interesting characters. Rather short, but very immersive (definitely play all routes!), full of cool details, and gorgeous art style. Would love to see a sequel with the same protagonist. 100% recommended for visual novel enjoyers, got me interested to check the other games in the franchise.

Legends of Savvarah: Flowers and Scorpions is a compact fantasy narrative adventure that places decisions, relationships, and moral uncertainty at the center of the experience. Developed and published by ST Sinovar, it follows Nikaria, an assassin and agent whose connection to supernatural forces has transformed her into something far more dangerous than an ordinary human. Rather than presenting her as a traditional heroic figure, the story embraces her questionable morality and gives players considerable control over how ruthlessly or thoughtfully she approaches her assignment. Nikaria is sent to a foreign land on what initially appears to be a relatively straightforward mission, but the situation becomes increasingly complicated as she encounters other agents, conflicting interests, and people who may become friends, enemies, tools, or something more personal. The story frequently challenges the player to determine whether completing the mission is worth the consequences.

tl;dr - A VN that's absolutely worth your time and money that has wonderful art, good VO, and a very interesting story hook. I have 4.6 hours into this game and only finished two runs. I'm going to put in at least as much time again to 100% the game. [h1]Standout Parts[/h1] - Visual themes, world design, and character design/costumes are all fantastic. There is plenty about that's easily recognizable, but often mixed in fresh ways. - Voice talent is a bit stilted at times, but it's amazing that such an indie game has ANY voice over to begin with. I think having the VO in Russian is a plus for Russian-speakers and a nice "exotic" bonus for those who don't know Russian because it adds to the "different/strange culture" feeling of the game. - The small choices the game asks you to make are impactful. The first time I finished a run I "won" the battle (my confrontation with Roger) but lost the "war" (my mission from Shadow of Dadar). This was a VERY cool moment and put me into a completely different mindset for my second play-through because I now knew for a FACT that my mission from Dadar was my most important goal. - Game lets you make stupid choices. Want to slice up the guards at …

Legitimately amazing written expression and strong character writing (especially the cast's motivations). I hope this team will get the opportunity to write a more expansive story at some point.
